Public Health Promotion

According to some studies, 80 % of diseases can be prevented if people are educated. In Burundi, there are more people still consulting witch doctors, refusing to invest in health, being manipulated on health issues by people who pretend to treat them. Women do not have information about family planning; Adolescents are not educated on sexual and reproductive health rights that lead to illegal abortion, unintended pregnancies, sexual transmitted infections; people living with non-communicable diseases loose lose due to misconception of their diseases; people buying antibiotics without prescription. As a healthcare professional and young leaders, we are accountable to provide health education to all people from grassroots level to national and regional level.
